TED Talk: Steven Levitt on crack dealing

Hey All,

It was great seeing everyone on Saturday! I know we mentioned the researcher's perspective of the Downtown Eastside. Steven Levitt, writer of Freakonomics, has a TED talk covering the crack/cocaine epidemic and the economic realities of a crack dealer. It's pretty interesting, and it answers question's like: how much crack dealers actually generate in revenue, and how they get drawn into the lifestyle. Sadir's story isn't based in the Downtown Eastside, but it seemed relevant nonetheless. Check it out!
